Digital control ensures you always retain control over all permissions and can adjust them flexibly. This provides you with a future-proof electronic solution that combines security, convenience and user-friendliness in one system. In conjunction with our BKS Keymanager locking system administration, you can clearly manage mechanical cylinders alongside digital cylinders as well.
Areas of application for digital locking systems
Digital locking systems demonstrate their advantages in many situations. The advantages of digital solutions vary depending on the field of application. In areas with many authorized users, simple administration and rapid security response play a key role, while in other areas such as private households, the increase in convenience is an important feature.Â
Public buildings
Access control for public buildings: security that thinks for itself
Public buildings face a particular challenge: they must be open and accessible – whilst at the same time meeting the highest security standards. Whether it’s an administrative building, a school, a library or a hospital – wherever large numbers of different people come and go, a well-designed access control system is essential for smooth operations.This is precisely where digital locking systems come into their own. They combine the tried-and-tested convenience of mechanical locking systems with the advantages of electronic components – without the need for complex cabling on every door. The result: a networked, flexible solution that is cost-effective to operate and can be adapted to growing requirements at any time.
Manage access rights individually and centrally
A major advantage of electronic locking systems lies in the ease with which access authorisations can be managed. Instead of having to replace the entire system every time a key card is lost, access rights can be conveniently granted, amended or revoked centrally via the BKS Keymanager. If an employee or visitor loses their access medium, it is simply blocked – the building’s security is immediately restored.
Even time-limited access rights are no problem: cleaning staff, external service providers or visitors are granted access for exactly the time required – not a minute longer. This saves not only time but also administrative costs.
Modular, expandable, future-proof
A well-designed locking system grows in line with a building’s requirements. Existing mechanical locking systems can be easily expanded to include electronic components such as wall-mounted readers, electronic fittings or knob cylinders. This creates a bespoke solution that fits the specific door configurations perfectly – from accessible entrances and internal doors to emergency exits – whilst still being managed centrally via the BKS Keymanager.
Those who wish to can go one step further: with ixalo | key and an ixalo | RFID system, a mobile phone can serve as a digital key.
Security that suits people
Ultimately, every access control system is about the same thing: people should be able to move safely and freely within public buildings, whilst unauthorised access is reliably prevented. A modular system comprising mechanical and electronic components allows precisely this balance to be achieved – today and even when tomorrow’s requirements change.
Private households
Losing your keys is a thing of the past: digital security for your home
We’ve all been there: you search through your pockets, turn your handbag inside out – and the key is still nowhere to be found. For private households, losing a key is not only frustrating, but often costly too, if the entire locking system has to be replaced straight away for security reasons. Modern, electronic locking systems solve precisely this problem and bring a touch of professional security technology into your own home.
More than just a key: modern identification methods
Instead of relying on a single mechanical key, digital locking systems use a variety of identification methods. Whether it’s a chip card, key fob, code or smartphone – access can be organised flexibly and tailored to your own needs. Biometric methods such as fingerprint recognition are also becoming increasingly important, as they are particularly convenient: you always have your ‘key’ with you and cannot lose it.
The key advantage over a traditional key is that if an access medium such as a card or transponder is lost, there is no need to replace the entire system. The lost medium is simply deactivated – security within the building is immediately restored, without the need for a locksmith or new locks.
Battery operation instead of complex wiring
Another major advantage for use in private homes is that electronic cylinders and fittings are battery-powered. This means that not a single wire needs to be run through the wall or door – retrofitting existing doors is therefore straightforward and can be done without any major building work.
Thanks to sophisticated energy management, maintenance requirements are minimal: high-quality cylinders run on standard batteries and, depending on the system, can handle tens of thousands of locking operations before a battery change is even necessary. And even this can usually be done without removing the cylinder – quickly, neatly and without specialist knowledge.
Security that adapts
Whether it’s a detached house, a block of flats or a holiday home – a modern locking system can be individually expanded and adapted to new requirements. Anyone starting out today with a simple access medium can easily add further doors, users or identification methods later on. In this way, security in your own home grows in line with your own needs – conveniently, reliably and without the worry of ever losing your key again.
